Parthenon: eLearning & IDD

posted Jun 19, 2014, 9:41 AM by Ezra Lockhart

The Parthenon Group, a San Francisco-based consulting firm, contacted me a couple of weeks ago. They identified me as an expert in the industry with specific experience in e-Learning and compliance training for intellectual and developmental disability needs. I was called upon to speak with their research team about training and delivery, market drivers, as well as general compliance and regulations.

I spoke about the current and foreseeable impact the new healthcare regulations have on this industry. I spoke specifically on eLearning options available to agencies and practitioners in Alaska including the recent shift towards eLearning training alternations. I discussed the issues coordinators encounter in organizing face-to-face group training with the varied and erratic nature of practitioners' work schedules. All-in-all, I spoke in favor of eLearning in the healthcare industry.
